I am not sure about the hot poker, but I would rather drive an AMC Pacer than that car.

PLEASE dont destroy your car with all that garbage! Eklers has a very nice simple kit that looks great with a flat style wing.

Just my opinion though......

The look just doesn't do it for me, and I expect the installed cost would be high.

I'm gonna agree with everyone else: I hate it.

Send your money to me and I'll gladly spend it in a less wasteful way.

The prices sound to good to be true...you get what you pay for.

If you did the LPE 427tt why scrimp on the out side? I have to agree with the others....not my cup of tea.

That's horrifying.

It looks like it doesn't even touch the rear fenders at all. Yet the front is 6" wider? Hmmmmmmm I bet that'd look really goofy.

If you are going to spend your money on a bodykit, get the TigerShark kit.

Wither you like the kit or not I have heard the quality of it is bad along with the customer service. Advanced compostie products makes some nice stuff. They are coming out with a c6 type kit also. There are a bunch of different bodies out there now that look better IMHO

Well, I like that the C5West website was done by a 5 yr old, and the body kit was an elementary school arts & crafts project, and those painted tires make it look they had a great time! At least I assume kids operate C5West because their stuff looks like crap.
